Rise is a leading nonprofit organization that connects key groups working to revitalize communities and neighborhoods in Greater St. Louis. The Rise Up festival is a fun event that features live music, children’s activities, street performers, artisans, fantastic food from local restaurants, and other community groups all helping to support Rise’s mission: to revitalize, reinvigorate, and foster healthy communities in the St. Louis metro area.
